SOCIAL CIRCLE – Hunters and anglers take note: The 2024-2025 Georgia Hunting and Fishing Regulations and Seasons guide is now available online and in print.

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division is making it even easier to be on the water and in the woods by giving outdoors enthusiasts the need-to-know information all in one place with the new combined guide.

The Georgia Hunting and Fishing Regulations and Seasons guide provides important need-to-know information on hunting (season dates, bag limits, wildlife management areas, quota hunts, youth opportunities), fishing (color fish identification chart for freshwater and saltwater fish, trout stream listings, public fishing area information, state record fish listings), recreational licenses and more.

Interested persons can view the guide (or download a pdf copy) online at GeorgiaWildlife.com. Pick up a printed copy at Wildlife Resources Division offices and license vendors throughout Georgia.
